what is a forum troll??

A troll is someone who posts unsavoury or sensitive, sometimes off topic subjects in an online community setting or saying nothing in a chatroom, in order to purposfully provoke an emotional response in others or to disrupt an on topic discussion or argument (paraphrased)(the trustees of indiana university, 2009)

"A troll is someone who inspires flaming rhetoric, someone who is purposely provoking and pulling people into flaming discussion. Flaming discussions usually end with name calling and a flame war" (retrieved from www.curezone.com on 21/08/10, article on netiquette)

"a person who is extremely skeptical of the main forum subject. He is generally interested to make other forum members look stupid. A troll will sometimes use insults to provoke other people to insult him. Then, he will complain to moderators of being insulted and will request that his opponents get banned from further discussion" (retrieved from www.Curezone.com on 21/08/10)

We use this word on another site, a social network one and it seems to be the nickname given to those that the bullies see as the poor victims

Trowls or Trowling simply derives too boring fookers that tend to populate the chat and post messages repeatingly, ie the copy & paste scenario:

"Phone wank, C2C"

I ignore those type's, that said it's the "phone sex" that baffles me?

How can you have sex with a phone? more importantly is is sore?
